Interface Connections
Interface Connections
TimeProvider 500 has support for up to four different VLANs when a GM1, GM2,
node manager, and remote telnet session are on different VLANs. Interface
connection support for the four different VLANs can be any combination of network
devices and remote telnet sessions. An interface connection is also available for all
non-VLAN connections. How you define an interface connection depends on the
network configuration being used.
PTP Devices
The PTP devices that can be configured with the TimeProvider 500 are the
following:
GM1– a GrandMaster clock that exchanges PTP packet flow with the
TimeProvider 500.
GM2 – a GrandMaster clock that exchanges PTP packet flow with the
TimeProvider 500 when the GM1 is not responding.
Node Manager – a PTP device that is connected to the network and understands
PTP management messages. A node manager serves as an interface for PTP
message transportation between PTP-related devices such as grandmaster
clocks and clients.
Remote CLI Command Access
All interface connections are available for VLAN and non-VLAN remote telnet
sessions.
Interface Connection Considerations
The following are guidelines when connecting an interface:
1. Decide which external device you want to have connect with the TimeProvider
500, and the connection requirements for the external device.
2. Once a targeted external device is decided upon, determine whether a VLAN
interface is needed and select an interface.
3. Set the IP address of the TimeProvider 500 that is consistent with the external
device connection.
4. If it is a VLAN connection, set the VLAN ID and VLAN priority.
Note
: Both GrandMasters (GM1 & GM2) can function as a node
manager device in addition to being a grandmaster clock.
